“I wrung my body out like a towel, twisting both ends with red fists and sinking my teeth into it, gritting out ‘it’s fine its fine it’s fine,’ until one day, I woke up and there would be a new accolade on my shelf, a new accomplishment I could have never dreamed of, and then— finally— it would be fine. It’d be perfect. For that day. Or an hour. And then the tendrils of the dread started peeking into the corners of my vision. And I had to start all over again.” & “Resilience, according to the establishment, is not a degree of some indeterminable measure of inner peace. Resilience is instead synonymous with success.”

I don't suffer from C-PTSD but I do deal with a few of the problems that can stem from C-PTSD like anxiety, depression, dissociation, and self-blame, and I have struggled for years with how to work through these issues. though one memoir is obviously not going to fix my problems, it made some of my issues seem more manageable and gave me new ideas on how to work through my struggles. this was also a fascinating read because it worked through the combined trauma of xenophobia, racism, sexism, and trauma from her personal relationships, and it didn't shy away from any topics. I don't quite have the words to talk about this right now but highly recommend to anyone who struggles with their mental health.
